I apologize, my fault. I should have checked GNU_STARTUP.COM for
BLD_ROOT and what it is set to.

(Re)-Define BLD_ROOT, the rooted logical. Assumed your current directory
when restoring the saveset was DUA1:[USER] then

$ define BLD_ROOT /trans=(conc,term) DUA1:[USER.]

It seems, when BLD_ROOT is defined before GNU_STARTUP runs, the command
procedure will not change it.

Or change GNU_STARTUP.COM. It seems in line 278 BLD_ROOT is defined.
